Is earths gravity stronger on the surface or in the center?
More strongly. The reason for this is as follows: 1. Centre of mass Although the mass of any object is spread throughout that object, it seems to be concentrated in one specific point - the centre of mass (used to be called the centre of 'gravity' although that term is misleading). For an object like a guitar where there are more massive bits spread all over it and the main part is light and hollow, finding the centre of mass is difficult. However for a relatively uniform structure like the earth, the centre of mass is concentrated at the centre of the earth. 2. Newton's gravitation law Isaac Newton found out that gravity depends upon two things: the masses of the two objects that are involved (e.g. a human and the earth) and the distance between them. He found out that gravity is proportional to the two masses multiplied together, so that as this amount increased, so would the force of gravity between them. Also he found that the nearer the objects were to each other, the more the force. In fact, if two objects were near to each other the force was strong, but it diminished rapidly by a 'square of the distance' if they were parted. This means that if two objects that were originally touching separate by, say, 2 miles, the force of gravity between them diminishes to a fourth (quarter) of its original value (2 x 2). If they separate by 3 miles, the gravity deminishes to just a ninth of its original value (3X3) and so on... separation by just 10 miles would mean gravity diminishing to just a hundredth of its value (10 x 10). So if objects are brought nearer to each other, gravity increases dramatically. Ok. Go back to the earth. As the centre of mass is at the centre of the earth, this is the point from which we can measure as, to an observer, the whole mass seems to be concentrated here. On the surface, let's say gravity is 1 'g'. If we get nearer to this centre of mass i.e. half way towards the centre, the force of gravity will increase dramatically to several 'g's depending upon how near we get to the centre. At the centre, however, gravity will still be acting, but we will not experience a force on us as all the gravitational forces pulling us towards the centre will be balanced and will appear to canceleach other out. Move away from the centre, however, and we will be strongly attracted back.
Why is smoke not affected by gravity?
Smoke is affected by gravity, but its particles are very light and small, allowing them to linger in the air due to various air currents. The movement of warm air rising and cooler air sinking can also keep smoke particles suspended for a period of time before ultimately settling to the ground.
Can a magnetic force be stronger than gravity?
Of the four fundamental interactions, gravity is the weakest force by far. electromagnetic forces are almost always stronger than gravity. The other two forces are weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force.
<><><>
Consider the electromagnet crane used to move metal in scrap yards. The magnetic force is lifting material against the pull of gravity- it must be stronger in that spot.
If the magnet is strong enough to keep a object attached while lifted, and the object does not drop, the force between that object and the magnet is stronger than gravity, otherwise...it would drop. Just as the upward force of our legs is obviously greater than the downward force of gravity, or we couldnt stand
Is specific gravity a chemical or physical properties?
Specific gravity is a physical property that describes the density of a substance compared to the density of a reference material, usually water. It is a dimensionless quantity and is used to help identify and characterize different materials.
Not a practical example of gravity acting on a moving object?
A practical example of gravity acting on a moving object would be a tennis ball moving through the air. Gravity pulls the ball downward, causing it to fall towards the ground while in motion. This interaction between gravity and the moving ball demonstrates how gravity affects objects in motion in everyday scenarios.
What is the gravity of Saturn like?
Gravity of Saturn is 92% that of Earth.

Gravity increases as mass or density increases. In other words, the more mass an object has, the more gravitational force it exerts. For example, the gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on the Moon because Earth has more mass.
Besides mass what does gravity depend on?
Gravity also depends on the distance between two objects and the gravitational constant, which is a fundamental constant in physics denoted by G. This constant determines the strength of the gravitational force between objects with mass.
What will gravity do to a falling object on earth and the moon?
Wow. That is one of the great unanswered questions of Physics. Nobody knows how gravity works. People have, over the centuries, formulated natural laws that describe the behavior of objects under the influence of gravity; Galileo Galilei, Issac Newton, and Albert Einstein for example.
Look it up on wikipedia. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/, and search for Gravity.
What is specific gravity of sewage?
Anything on Earth experiences the same gravitational force. Earth's gravity is 9.8m/s2 on all objects (slightly greater near the equator and slightly less further from it). This means that every second an object is falling, it's speed will increase by 9.8 meters per second. This is not taking air friction and other such things into account.
What are the factors that affect the strength of gravity?
The factors that affect the strength of gravity include the mass of the objects involved (more massive objects exert stronger gravitational forces), the distance between the objects (gravitational force weakens with increasing distance), and the gravitational constant, which is a universal constant that determines the strength of gravity.
The contact force will keep the ball moving but as the ball goes farther the ball slows down that's were the non contact force comes in it makes the ball not in contact

How can you calculate the amount of gravity something has?
Tossing a ball up repeatedly will do the trick. It will fall. You can catch it when it comes down and toss it back up. It won't not come back down. Gravity has a firm hold on it, and it won't let go.
What are the codes to gravity falls mystery shack mystery?
If you're thinking of the bran new animated series "Gravity Falls," then congratulations on finding out there was a code! I just recently figured it out.
In the theme song, it whispers "three letters back" at the end, which is the special code.
Then at the ending credits, it shows "ZHOFRPH WR JUDYLWB IDOOV"
What you have to do is take the first letter, (Z) and go back "three letters back" in the alphabet to get the letter. (W)
After you've gone back three letters for each letter in the code, you end up with "WELCOME TO GRAVITY FALLS"
Hope this helped! And stay tuned for the premiere of Gravity Falls on Disney Channel on Friday, June 29th!!
How does gravity effect percolation?
Percolation affects the movement underground because, when the water is passing through it dissolves all salt and minerals.
Why does water from an inverted glass not fall when it is covered with cardboard?
As soon as the card drops a little there is 1) a volume expansion that counteracts the displacement and 2) a thin water rim is formed between the edge of the cup and the card. If the weight of the card is low, a few grams , the surface tension of water is sufficient to prevent air from penetrating the cup. Therefore card is kept in place by the capillary force.
With a card of somewhat greater weight the width of the capillary rim increases (but there is additional volume expansion to counteract the weight of the heavier card). Since the capillary force decreases with increasing width of the open edge, the weight range of cards is limited. Eventually it can no longer prevent air from rushing in. But with cards with low weights, thus a thin edge and as a consequence a high capillary force it works fine.
How the earth's moon and gravity related?
They attract each other, they pirouette around a common center of gravity.
The Earth's mass is much greater, so the common center of gravity that they
both orbit is much closer to the Earth's center than it is to the moon's center.
How does gravity affect a pendulum?
Very little affect. The weight is chosen by: 1) Won't require enormous bearings, or clockworks. 2) Heavy enough so that air resistance is not the dominant force. 3) Not so heavy that the Earth's rotation will not break the clock. etc.
Why do scientists use specific gravity?
I believe the reason behind using specific gravity is that it is easier to measure (especially when you're measuring it for a solid).
What two things determine the strength of gravitational pull?
First we must answer the question, "What is gravity?" There are many opposite charges that radiate electric fields. Two electric fields coming from opposite charges can pair up and travel through anything until they encounter opposite charges, such that the lower charge is pulled down first and then the upper charge is pulled down. The electric fields are absorbed by charges opposite from the ones that they originally came from. The time between the pulling down is according to the speed of light in the direction that the graviton was traveling. Only those gravitons that meet that special constraint are effective. That is why the gravitational "force" is so much weaker than the unpaired bare electric "force". The more gravitons (from a direction) meeting those dynamic conditions, the greater the force on an object.
The proper answer is not exactly the mass of the object producing the gravitons for "doing the pulling", and the distance (r) from the pair of charges being pulled downward to the object producing the gravitons that will later do the pulling. This is because gravitons are absorbed, as they encounter opposite charges having just the right dynamical properties. Space opens up as r times r but only the remaining unabsorbed gravitons expand outwards for a while, as r times r. Because gravitons are actually discontinuous, with a large enough separation of r, it would be possible that there are no surviving gravitons, no matter what the mass of the object producing the gravitons. That is why the "universe" is expanding. With enough mass in the way, the gravitons are all eventually absorbed. Each bare charge is an infinite duration source of power. Each bare charge gives up a vast flux of electric fields radiating outward at the speed of light. Charges encountered by those electric fields have their momenta changed upon absorbing those electric fields. In the frame of the encountered charge before the electric field is absorbed, the charge afterwards has absorbed some energy from the electric field, as it is afterwards moving. Useful energy can be delivered to a mass rotating about a horizontal axis, according to the Bessler principle. There is actually nothing at all static about the electric field or the gravitational field. They both propagate at the speed of light in pure vacuum.
g=274.0 m/s^2 (weight=mass x g)(g on the sun is about 28 times as strong as on the earth (9.8 m/s^2)) F=Gm1m2/d^2 (You can use this to calculate the force (F) acting on an object (m2) at a distance (d)) The escape velocity on the sun from the sun is 617.5 km/s. The Sun has an enormous amount of mass, and so it has a lot of gravity. In fact, the mass of the Sun is 333,000 times more than the mass of the Earth. Forget that the surface temperature of the Sun is 5,800 Kelvin and made of hydrogen - what would you feel if you could walk on the surface of the Sun? Think about this, the gravity of the Sun at the surface is 28 times the gravity of the Earth. In other words, if you weighed 100 kg on Earth, you would feel like you weighed 2,800 kg if you tried to walk on the surface of the Sun. Needless to say, you would die pretty quickly just from the pull of gravity, not to mention the heat, etc.
